Michael Johnson on all things Rare

Michael Johnson was happy to put Banjo’s controller down for a second and talk with us about Rare. We recorded our interview the morning of July 14th during the Xbox Holiday Showcase in New York City, only a few minutes after we tried Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise and the new dashboard for the Xbox 360. While Johnson showed a deep knowledge of all Rare stuff since the glorious N64 years, he couldn’t comment on the infamous GoldenEye 007 incident due to Microsoft’s stance on the matter. Which doesn’t mean we couldn’t gather more information about it. But for now, you’ll have to wait for that.
